Great beginner plane!
My Son’s flight instructor uses these planes and said they are the easiest to learn with. I purchased a “used like new” plane from a seller on here and it looked pretty much brand new. Great to save money and still have an awesome plane!

May be faulty plane
I bought this plane after doing hours of research, watching YouTube videos and thought it would be a great trainer plane. After putting it together and making sure all the trimming was right, I took it out on a non windy day and about 30 seconds in it had a mind of its own and crashed straight into the ground. I returned it and requested a new one because I knew it just wasn’t right. After a whole MONTH I got my new one in and did the same thing over again and it flies amazing and doesn’t disappoint. I definitely recommend it. Just keep in mind you may get a faulty one. That’s my reason for 3 star review.

Sts malfunctioned
Enjoyed the first 5 minutes of flying then all of a sudden while in training mode and next to no wind the plane malfunctioned and flew straight into the ground. I'm learning anything spektrum is not reliable.

Most flown, least crashed
I have dozens of planes I haven’t flown yet because I am terrible. The apprentice was awesome. I felt like a pro after a few hours. Turning the safe off allowed me to do some awesome flips , flipped the safe on several times to save me. Crashed from about 15 feet into a dive. Survived and only lost the nose cone and battery flap. All the foam survived ! $20 later and it’s ready to fly again!

Must do for beginners
This is, by far, the best RC trainer on the market. The problem most people have with RC planes is not properly preparing the plane and radio. This requires that you get help from a person who knows. It's critical that you balance the plane as shown in the instructions. Then zero the trims on the transmitter. Then zero the control surfaces on the plane. If you can't find help your local hobby shop can help.

A controller is also not included
I would have given 5 stars, but I expected to get a controller when the title says RTF Basic Battery and Charger not included. Why not also say the controller is not included. Do they know? Did I miss some fine print? Anyways, I bought a DX6e and it works great with the apprentice and I had some good flights yesterday.
